20089 deaths may be tied to Toyota acceleration

Toyota vehicles involved in unintended-acceleration crashes may be linked to 89 deaths since 2000, up from 52 reported in March, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in an e-mailed response to Bloomberg News. The deaths occurred in 71 accidents, more than the 43 reported in March, the agency said yesterday, citing data through May 20.

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Adminstration has received 6,200 complaints concerning sudden, unintended acceleration in Toyota vehicles between 2000 and mid-May.
